In the consumer electronics industry, molex pico clasp reduces the size of the Apple AirPods Pro noise reduction control module to 38% of the traditional solution with 0.8mm pitch and 1.6mm total height. Test data show that its 2.5A/mm² current density provides 18 hours of uninterruptible battery life, signal integrity error less than ±0.7% in the range of 100Hz-10kHz, and 50,000 stable contacts with 0.3N insertion and removal force. The case of Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro shows that the technology conserves 44% of the area of the motherboard, the capacity of the battery is increased to 61mAh, the charging compartment size is conserved by 11%, and the yield is increased to 99.2%. IDC states that TWS headsets using this solution will increase shipments by 27% in 2023 and reduce production cost per unit by $1.80.
Molex pico clasp’s 20 times autoclave (134 ° C) ISO 13485-certified capacity reduces the size of Medtronic capsule endoscopes in medical devices to 9.8×26mm. Clinical data indicates that its 0.04Ω contact resistance reduces 4K image transmission to only 0.6W, and provides 98.3% signal stability in digestive tract pH 1.5-8.5 conditions. Johnson & Johnson Medical studies have shown that the connector reduces the number of duodenoscope control harnesses by 62%, reduces inspection time to 8.4 minutes on average, and reduces instrument disinfection costs by 32%. Boston Scientific’s new endoscopic system employs 28 sets of molex pico clasp to provide 120 frames per second with a bend radius of 2.5mm and a bit error rate of 1×10⁻⁹.
In the automotive electronics market, the -40℃ to 150℃ temperature range and IP6K9K protection level of molex pico clasp reduce the weight of the Tesla Model Y electric power steering system harness by 53%. Measured test results show that under the double 85 test condition, its range of contact resistance change is only ±1.2%, and the temperature rise does not exceed 7℃ when supporting the transmission of 12V/5A power. Bosch ESP 9.3 system integration case shows that the control unit is reduced by 39%, the signal delay is reduced from 2.1ms to 0.3ms, and the response of ABS actuation is increased by 18%. Volkswagen MEB platform calculates a saving of $24 on each electric vehicle application and efficiency of assembly improved by 35%.
In industrial automation use, the 50G vibration and 30G shock resistance of molex pico clasp increase the Fanuc CRX-10iA collaborative robot joint module’s wire density threefold. In Schneider Electric PLC transformation project, after the application of the 0.5mm pitch version, the I/O ports increased to 72 per square centimeter, signal transmission rate up to 10Gbps, and bit error rate decreased to 1×10⁻¹². According to ABB Smart Factory data, the solution reduced sensor network installation time by 43%, extended the maintenance cycle from 500 hours to 1,500 hours, and lowered the annual failure rate to 0.17 times per thousand units.
As regards iot devices, the 0.6mm molex pico clasp height supports the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro’s heart rate, blood and oxygen dual module integration, reducing the sensor area to 4.2×4.2mm. The test shows that the 0.8μA standby current and the 128Hz sampling rate reduce the power consumption by 29% compared to the previous generation, and the continuous monitoring life is extended to 14 days. Huawei LTE Cat.1 module MH5000-31 application case shows that the connector can save 58% of communication module volume, but retains the stability of 3.2dBm transmission power in -25℃ low temperature condition, and reconnection time is shortened to 1.3 seconds. Gartner foretells that LPWAN devices based on this technology will account for 68% of iot connectivity market in 2025.
